Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet.

All I really plan to play in GW2 for the foreseeable future is PVP.

I just don’t really see eye-to-eye with you on PVE content. You like bad drop rates and chaotic zergs… I’d prefer a more polished experience, WITH a player cap like Fractals and dungeons, and real teamwork.

So that being said why can’t I just buy new classes as a separate package? You can even keep precursor crafting and all that. I don’t care. I just want GAMEPLAY related stuff, and I’d be happy to pay for it… but less happy to pay for a whole bunch of extras that imo go in the wrong direction for my entertainment purposes.

Drytop requires people to spread out for maximum effectively (not a chaotic zerg). Silverwastes requires people to coordinate to maintain forts and then to play smart enough to complete Vinewrath (even less of a chaotic zerg).

It’s been stated that broad organization is going to be even more important in HoT zones, so I have to reject your claim that PvE content is designed for a massive zergfest. Unless you’re only considering old content, like world bosses. In that case then yes, those are all (but two) massive zergs.

As for small-group content, we haven’t heard any information in any way about HoT stuff, so that is a meaningless thing to complain about at this point. We do know that they intend on adding new and challenging PvE content, and that’s about it.

Also, using your logic, people that only do PvE content should have the option to pay less since they aren’t interested in the new WvW borderlands.

Except the new borderlands (like the new SPvP map) is not a part of HoT, it is coming as a free update for everyone.

I, as a PvE player, completely understand where PvP players are coming from and fully support the idea of a way to only unlock access to the elite specializations (and possibly the revenant), without paying for the rest.

That.. is a completely valid point. My only attempt to salvage my first comment would be if the new WvW map (not the borderlands, the NEW new one) has a restriction on it. If not, then I can only offer the much less satisfying response of “expansions have never been pick-and-choose content, so you’ll have to buy it and then pick what you want to do.”

Sucks, but that’s generally the way it is.
